How do the deaf think?

Written by Steve Claridge

There is this one question that people ask me when they grow comfortable enough around me. That question: “You know how hearing people usually say they have a little voice in their head when they think? How about you? How do you think?” They are usually nervous that the question would offend me. First of all, it is extremely hard to offend me. Second, that is actually a good question! I recall the first time a friend asked me that and I didn’t even know how to respond because I never really thought too much about that. I just think, why question how I think?

This is a great article from Znuage. I am only partially deaf myself and it had never occured to me that deaf people might not be able to “hear” the voice in their head the same was as I can.
